Nam-Hee Pellegrin
Clinical Psychologist / Hakomi Graduate
B. Sc (Psych. Hon) (University of Sydney)
M. Clinical Psychology (Macquarie University)
PG Dip. Family Therapy (Institute of Psychiatry)
Nam-Hee is a registered Clinical Psychologist and a Graduate of Hakomi Therapy with over 17 years of experience working with individuals, adolescents, parents with young children, couples and families in private practice and specialised public health care settings. Nam-Hee holds a Masters in Clinical Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Family Therapy. She is also an Australian Health Practitioners’ Registration Agency (AHPRA) approved clinical supervisor.
From the beginning of her professional journey, Nam-Hee was interested in understanding intergenerational trauma, where trauma and/or attachment wounds of one generation seem to impact the next generation through attachment interaction/patterns. She was also drawn to working at a systemic level, seeing how individual trauma and wellbeing impact families, communities, societies, and countries. Living and widely travelling in many countries since she was young gave her a sense of compassion for working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Combining these interests, Nam-Hee worked more than 10 years at Services for Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors (S.T.A.R.T.T.S.), providing systemic support and individual psychotherapy for refugees and asylum seekers from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Nam-Hee has extensive experience in providing service for people who live with prolonged and multiple complex trauma/abuse, acute trauma, depression, anxiety, phobias, parenting stress, and couple or family relationship difficulties.
Looking for ways to work with clients at a deeper emotional level, she trained in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, an attachment informed, somatic & mindfulness-based psychotherapy. With Hakomi method, one learns to understand how emotions arise from our body, work with the wisdom of emotions, and its capacity to help us move through trauma (guided by its energy, our felt sense/impulses) in a mindful state and in gentle attuned presence.
Nam-Hee is also trained in therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Family Therapy and Biofeedback. However, she now mainly works from a Hakomi-informed approach.
Nam-Hee hopes to support individuals, parents, couples, families, students and communities in their journey of life, self-discovery and growth.
Nam-Hee provides psychotherapy in both English and Korean.

Message from a Client
“I just wanted to send a huge appreciation text! I am so grateful even though we only had a few sessions. I am in a much better place. I thank you for your kindness, patience and gentleness. If at any time I need to come back I will let you know but for now I am going great! Hope life is going well for you. God bless, Katrina M.”
When the client was contacted to gain consent to publish her feedback on the website, she added, “…what I noticed in my sessions, that I didn’t anywhere else, is that I don’t need to have the answers. Answers to label my thoughts, feelings, what to do in a situation. I just had to feel what it is that I was going though.
I used to panic. I didn’t know how to control my emotions and that I would burst out random inappropriate emotions and thoughts but is because I wasn’t trusting those emotions could be good….emotions help us be human and connected…we make mistakes and life is hard, complicated and it breaks us down. But counselling gets to the root. With the trust of someone who genuinely wants to walk you through it and to support you and show love to your situation.
Everyone is scared of being judged but in Nam-Hee’s sessions I not once felt judged, in fact, I felt I could finally be and say all I needed so that I could be free of the past”
